Ingredients
10 cups cubed day-old French or sourdough bread
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
3–4 stalks celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 to 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 large eggs, beaten
Butter or cooking spray for greasing
Instructions
1. Cube the bread and dry it overnight or bake at 300°F for 15-20 minutes until lightly crisp.
2. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté onion and celery until soft, about 10-12 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes more.
3. Stir in parsley, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Cook 1 minute longer.
4. In a large bowl, combine the bread and sautéed vegetables.
5. Whisk eggs with 2 cups of broth and pour over the mixture. Gently mix. Add more broth if needed.
6. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and transfer the mixture in.
7. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
8. Remove foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes to crisp the top.
9. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Use dry or day-old bread to avoid sogginess and get the best texture.
Adjust broth slowly—adding too much can lead to a mushy consistency.
Bake uncovered at the end for a perfectly crispy topping.
